Why Should I Partner With a Staffing Firm?

Finding qualified talent to either replace a full-time employee or fill in in a pinch can be difficult and cause a strain on resources. Partnering with a staffing firm allows you to focus on running the other aspects of your business and leave the legwork to the professionals who have access to a large database of qualified talent.  

Save Time and Money 

High turnover rates and substandard employees cost your company both time and money. Finding and training a replacement employee can be a long drawn-out process that puts a drain on your resources. Partnering with a staffing firm saves you both time and money by: 

  • Not having to worry about creating job postings and interviewing candidates. 
  • Eliminating the need to read countless resumes.  
  • Conducting all the legwork for you, thereby reducing costs. 
  • Peace of mind knowing you are receiving vetted, quality talent. 

Flexibility When You Need It Most 

There are times when your company may be short-staffed due to employees being on: 

  • Vacation 
  • Medical Leave 
  • Maternity Leave 
  • Special Projects 
  • Peak Periods 

Staffing firms are able to quickly provide your company with qualified talent that can come in and cover a shortage. This ensures your full-time employees do not become stressed or burned out during peak periods or special projects. 

Access to a Large Pool of Experienced Talent 

Finding the right talent can be difficult. When you team up with a staffing agent to find your next employee, you have access to talent you wouldn’t otherwise be able to find. In addition, agencies have pools of candidates who are anxiously awaiting their next career opportunity and have been thoroughly vetted by the firm.  

Trial Run Before Committing to a Candidate 

The best way to get to know a potential new hire is to see them in action. Staffing firms offer trial periods before you offer an employee a full-time position. This way you can see for yourself how the new employee fits in with your company’s culture. 

  • Does the contract employee have the work ethic desired?  
  • Do they have a good attitude?  
  • Will they fit in well long-term with your company’s culture?

How Can I Effectively Bring a Temp Into the Company Culture?

Gone are the days when contract staffing meant a placeholder to take care of the busywork until a full-time replacement was hired. Today, it means so much more. Not only is the length of contract employment positions increasing, but the movement towards career freedom is causing freelance and gig work to become ever more popular.

Oftentimes this means contract employees are just as qualified as full-time staff and have the potential to be a real asset to your team. It starts with how you immerse them in your company’s culture. Let’s take a look at how you and your team can make sure you are making the most out of your contract positions.

Make Sure Supervisors and Full-time Employees Interact With Contract Employees

Sticking contract employees in the corner to do busy work isn’t really going to benefit your business. Make sure your permanent team is interacting with all employees. A few ways to accomplish this include:

  • Put contract employees on one of your project teams.
  • Pair contract employees with seasoned employees for training purposes.
  • Make sure the contract employees offices, desks or stations are comparable to the rest of the staff and not isolated.

Invite Contract Employees to Company Events

Make your contract employees feel like a part of the team by including them in company events including:

  • Celebratory dinners
  • Conferences
  • Banquets
  • Conventions
  • Holiday parties

Events outside of work are a great way for your employees to connect and build a sense of camaraderie without the stresses of the office. Including contract employees in these events will help unify your team.

Allow Contract Employees to Become Immersed in the Company Culture

Invite contract employees to meetings. Fill them in on the company’s goals, strategies and plans. It may seem like it doesn’t matter since they will only be there temporarily, but the truth is, an employee who is there only three months still has the potential to make a huge impact on your company. Make sure it is a positive one.

Provide Contract Employees With the Same Means of Communications as Full-time Employees

For example, give contract employees keys and passcodes to be able to navigate the physical premises.

The same is true for online software. Constantly requiring a fellow employee login can feel diminishing.  It’s also important to make sure contract employees have their own email address and phone in order to communicate with other team members and supervisors in an efficient and professional manner.
